the sex ghost posted:I have never read a single book and will never read any articles or theory. What is the accepted lefty position on car ownership and private transport in general. Is it submitting an application to the department of motor vehicles outlining why you need a car and getting one loaned to you on a case by case basis. Would the state be responsible for the maintenance of said vehicles. Will I get to have a go in a Yugo because that would be extremely cool. increase funding of public transit to like china levels and then make registering a car a pain in the rear end that you have to do every year

Also is chicago some biker rider got got killed by a drunk driver on Madison after the city tore out the planters along it because they cost too much money to maintain. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2022/4/21/23035374/paresh-chhatrala-west-loop-crash-courtney-bertucci edit: my mistake they were removed to improve traffic flow lmao edit2: quote:Ald. Walter Burnett (27th) had the city pay $400,000 to remove the planters in 2019 to ease traffic congestion, according to Block Club Chicago. The planters were installed to beautify the neighborhood by former Mayor Richard M. Daley in the run-up to the 1996 Democratic National Convention.

Norton posted:20 years ago i drove across texas and it was a very boring drive but your post reminded me that they had tons of stupid signs all over the highway. i can't find a picture but there was one type that said "observe road signs". as if someone noticed people weren't obeying the signs so their solution was to make more signs that told people to read the other signs. i'm sure it was like a million dollars to put all those stupid things up across the entire state and there is a 0% chance they helped anyone. another good example of this is the 11 Foot 8 Bridge in north carolina. When the videos first started it had a generic "11'8"" sign with yellow lights and people would hit the beam that protects the bridge. Now they raised the bridge 8 more inches, it has a stoplight, and it has a sign that reads "OVER HEIGHT MUST TURN" that flashes when it detects a tall vehicle approaching....and people still hit the beam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpwASaUsLis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWTY2Pi1uKA

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:I dunno about NZ but in the US electric golf carts are extremely popular in retirement communities in Florida because old folks love to hop into the cart and go get shitfaced. Some retirement communities are built around golf cart paths. yeah golf carts are legal in indiana (depending on town ordinance). lots of people drive them around the little town i live in. They'll even put little zip up covers on them in the winter.

mystes posted:Those are very weird to me as an american because i feel like the UK is better for walking/cycling in most other ways but I don't think I've ever seen something like that in the US. I've seen one in Indiana where a greenway crossed a (semi-abandoned) railway  those gates can be opened but everyone just gets off their bike and walks around them. I assume thats the idea of them more so than to block mopeds or whatever (as the greenway parallels streets in that area there's no need)

a_pineapple posted:neighborhood dumpsters though, I suppose that would require americans to actually participate in their community and use a communal dumpster/recycling.... which they'd just be like COMMUNISM and reject immediately its really funny because I grew up in a small town in Indiana with communal trash and recycling. You have to drive but its meant to serve the town and rural community together and its actually rather convenient. Only problem is since it's upscaled for a town they have it out on the outskirts so people don't bitch about the smell. It's literally a bunch of dumpsters in a gravel lot but it was so weird to live in a dark red part of a red state that had designated sorting for Glass, Plastic, Cardboard, Newspapers, Tin, and even Motor Oil and Antifreeze:
